The STURGEON family and the products from them, including caviar.

With the issuance of a Protocol establishing genetic conformity, containing individual genetic data on the mitochondrial haplotype and the allelic composition of microsatellite loci in the nuclear genome (in accordance with the Provisions of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).

Test fee for one specimen: 366,00 BYN

The SALMONIDAE family in the fish raw material and foodstuffs (the Atlantic salmon, trout, the pink salmon, the coho salmon, the chum salmon and the sockeye salmon).

With the issuance of a Protocol establishing genetic conformity.

Test fee for one specimen: 552,00 BYN

The fish of other families, including  ANGUILLIDAE, seafood and the products from them.

For the reason of appearing of eel foodstuffs on the market of Belarus, upon request of the CUSTOMS AUTHORITIES, the genetic certification technology for preventing the risk of importing the goods falling under the scope of non-tariff regulation measures in accordance with the CITES Convention has been developed and is successfully implemented. Based on the DNA analysis of a specimen (raw and processed fish and fish products), the species affiliation is established: the European eel, the American eel etc. With the issuance of a Protocol establishing genetic conformity.

Test fee for one specimen: 402,00 BYN
